smarter, richer, more connected

There is no free lunch. There’s tons and tons of people who will claim to be smart, rich and connected but that actually are just grifters, and if they can prove otherwise they’re absolutely going to bill for their time. And then there’s also grifters who will bill for their time, some of whom are one or more of those things.

I should also point out that smarter is largely independent of the other two. And that trading on non-public information can be illegal, especially in developed countries.

Basically, if you’re speculating on land somewhere you need to do your own homework or you’ll definitely get gotten.
